What are the fire safety regulations for composite material sculptures in public areas?
Composite material sculptures in public areas must adhere to strict fire safety regulations to ensure public safety. These regulations typically require materials to meet specific fire resistance standards, such as low flammability and minimal smoke emission. Local building codes often dictate the use of flame-retardant coatings or inherently fire-resistant composites. Additionally, sculptures may need to pass flammability tests and maintain safe clearance from other structures. Regular inspections and compliance with international standards like ASTM E84 or EN 13501 are essential. Always consult local authorities to ensure full adherence to regional fire safety laws.
